"The best hospitals are committed to creating a safe environment for both their employees and patients, whether it's developing protocols to prevent the spread of infectious diseases or following clinical best practices. But in order to be successful, they need each person who conducts business in the hospital to share that vision of vigilance," said Mike Sheehan, CEO of IntelliCentrics, in a news release. "A safe environment begins with each individual that crosses the threshold — doing the right thing, day in and out. These five individuals have risen to the top and demonstrated an unprecedented level of compliance and commitment, and we want to recognize them as role models for others throughout the industry."
